Wonderful Experience - Truly amazing experience with Chef Asma. My mum and I enjoyed ourselves cooking Moroccon food and exploring the cuisine of morrocon dishes. The chef was very engaging, funny and made us feel comfortable. I will encourage anyone to take up the cooking class if they are ever in Marrakesh.

Amazing experience! - This was the most fun thing we did in Marrakech! Leila and her daughter were very friendly and hospitable. Her cooking tips were superb and the food was even better. I would definitely recommend this experience to any foodie interested in Moroccan cuisine.

Highly recommended - I love doing cooking classes whenever I am in a new place. I find it's a great way to learn about the local cuisine, to meet the locals, as well as other travellers. I really enjoyed Laila's cooking class and the food we all made at the end was delicious (3 different types of salads, and two types of tajine). I highly recommend this experience. You will not be disappointed! Laila is also so funny, friendly, patient and kind and just the perfect Moroccan chef and mama!

The best! - Everything was fine. Leila is the best. You will learn how to prepare the perfect morrocoan tajine!!

A wholesome and fun experience - This was a wholesome, fun and informative cooking class! One of my favourite things that we did in Morocco - Chef Leyla is a beautiful soul who will definitely make you laugh. I am vegetarian and she was very accommodating of this. She also sends you videos and recipes on how to cook what you made. Also if you want to buy a Tajine- she sells them for roughly £3!

Awesome - Top activity Laela and her daughter gave us a masterful Moroccan cooking lesson in a good mood, we had selected the ingredients at the market beforehand to end up tasting our dishes all together, it was great

Best Moroccan food I’ve had all week plus a warm and welcoming host. - Laila is really good fun and especially with her daughter. I’ve read some of the bad reviews about the course and I understand their points but completely disagree. The group was at least 75% French speakers and Laila took the time to instruct in both French and English. She split us up into two groups, pure French speakers and an English/multilingual group. The bad reviews saying that the course is mostly in French probably didn’t think about the group or the fact that the hosts speak multiple languages to their, most likely, one. I only speak English and I had a great time, Laila was cracking jokes and just is a very welcoming host. The market visit was advertised and we saw how the guys make the pastry and looked at the classic market arrangement. We picked up the fruit and veg and moved into the meat & fish market area. It’s not something westerners are used to and later she explained how they handle the produce and meat they pick up. She spoke about how chickens are slaughtered to order and that her husband goes and watches the butcher to ensure the chosen chickens are killed correctly (halal etc). She showed us the spice market and told us later that you should always buy whole spices and make things yourself where feasible, instead of buying pre ground and pre made. We pretty much chopped vegetables, made marinades and wrapped pastry. It was great fun and informative. The food was great, best Tagine I’ve had the whole week I’ve been here. Some of the bad reviews state that the dessert was just fruit, which is true. We had fruit mixed with sugar and spices, dressed with spices yoghurt and served with crunchy pieces of pastry. After such a rich and flavourful main, the light dessert was great. I think some of the bad reviewers aren’t aware that fruit is the traditional dessert in Morocco. 10/10 would do again! Can’t wait to try making some Moroccan food at home.

Fun and delicious food! - I would highly recommend this half day cooking course with Laila. She is warm, funny and passionate about food! It was a great lesson and the resulting dishes were the best food I have had in Marrakech.

Great cooking, avoid the henna. - Warning first- after the cooking class they offered henna, which turns out to be 'black henna' made with chemicals. Please avoid touching this, and conduct your research regarding PPD and the other chemicals involved. Cooking class was great, good information and great attitude and friendliness, we felt accomodatied for and welcomed very nicely. Overall loved the cooking aspects.

Morocco in a few dishes - Leila was very engaging. That was a highlight. Shopping for supplies before food preparation started was an education. Everything was very organised and I picked up some cooking tips.
